adoro a la escritora

My take on it is this: Success comes when parents have a full understanding of the amount of effort it will take to do the work and tailor that work to their child’s individual needs. Success comes when the gift of music and a strong bond with your child is born out of the hard work you put in together. When parents start with this expectation at the very beginning, they are capable of navigating with clearer vision and more realistic goals and expectations of what can be accomplished together. Beyond the Music Lesson helps the adults in the Suzuki Triangle to do this.
Christine brings a wonderful, genuine perspective to the table, from the vantage point of a Suzuki teacher, parent, and student. You can feel her understanding of today’s Suzuki challenges in her delivery; She validates and encourages parents by acknowledging their very real experiences and struggles while also sharing her candid teacher and student perspective.
She also doesn’t waste anyone’s time, which is great, since we’re all busy! Her points are honest, positive, concise, and practical. She offers many digestible guiding questions and tidbits along the way that are thought-provoking and doable.
Thanks to Christine for sending us an advance e-reader copy to give feedback before the book launched. Right after reading, we ordered a physical copy to keep here for our studio parents, and we look forward to using it as a reference in our teaching for years to come.

Note: I am not a "Suzuki teacher" in the very strictest sense (though I took the classes)--as far as I can tell, the "Suzuki method" is essentially extremely good child psychology, neuroscience, and common sense, which have their place no matter what books you happen to teach from. Same with the powerful ideas in this book--they transcend any stated "method." This book will be useful to ANY "music parent." (I definitely would have had a happier childhood if it had been around for my parents!!)
One last thing--I very much appreciate that the Kindle edition costs only $5. A number of my students are relatively low-income, and I've always hesitated to ask parents to read a $20-25 book, though there are some good ones out there; it can be a daunting amount of money for some. This makes it much more accessible, and was easier on MY musician-sized wallet as well! I hope the cost stays that low.
